| | This week I'm sharing some of my springtime favorites, from an asparagus frittata to a black bean chipotle chile. The latter might not sound very spring-like, but when it's wet and windy outside (not uncommon in the Pacific Northwest), a soothing bowl of warm chili is exactly what's needed! | | Asparagus Frittata This low fat asparagus frittata is a lovely spring time dish. Use either egg substitute or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites. Serve with some fresh fruit and a low fat muffin on the side. | Salmon with Asparagus in Foil Steamed to perfection in about 15 minutes, this healthy and nutritious salmon and asparagus dish makes a quick and easy dinner with very little clean up. Serve with whole grain rice or couscous and a squeeze of lemon juice. Be careful when opening the foil packs, as the steam will be very hot. | Mushroom Risotto One good way to eat less fat during the course of a week is to switch one or two meat-based dishes for vegetable-based ones. One such dish could be risotto, so long as you're not too heavy handed with cheese or you dispense with cheese altogether. | Black Bean Chipotle Chile This black bean chipotle chili is actually one of my all-time favorite cool-weather recipes. The smokiness and heat imparted by the chipotle chile adds a great depth of flavor to this hearty and delicious vegetarian dish. | | | | Low Fat Cooking Ads | | | | Featured Articles | | | | More from About.com | | | | | | Disney Trip Planner Everything you need to plan the perfect Disney vacation -- from when to go and what to do, to saving money and picking a hotel.
